Back Pain

Back pain is a growing epidemic for americans. In fact it’s the most common physical complaint that leads to loss of job and lost job time.

Back pain includes low back pain, middle back pain, and upper back pain. Nerve and muscular problems, degenerative disc disease, and arthritis can result in back pain.

 What Are the Causes of Back Pain?

  • Spinal Stenosis

    Occurs as intervertebral discs lose moisture and volume with age, which decrease the space between your discs. Minor trauma with spinal stenosis can cause inflammation and nerve impingement syndrome, which can produce sciatica without disc rupture.

  • Back Injuries

    Back problems and injuries often occur during recreational activities, sports, work-related, or projects at home.

  • Spinal Disk Problems

     Problems with the spine’s discs play a part in back pain.

  • Spinal Degeneration

    The result of a neglected or undetected vertebral subluxation, injury, or misalignment. Research shows that degeneration can start 10 days to 2 weeks upon acquiring a subluxation. It will progress until it has completely destroyed the disc and fused the spine.

  • Spondylolisthesis

    Is a defect or fracture of one or both wing-shaped parts of a vertebra, can result in vertebrae slipping backward, forward, or over a bone below.

  • Spine Curvature Disorders

     Abnormalities which effect the natural curvatures of the spine are misaligned or exaggerated in certain areas, which happens with lordosis, kyphosis, and scoliosis.

Dr. Velez takes the time to address all issues his patients are dealing with. He tailors his treatments to each individual patient and takes their progress personally.

Dr. Velez is a miracle worker. Came in with sever TMJ unable to open my mouth more than a centimeter. Dentist had told me I would need Botox shots to fix it. Got an adjustment and had full mobility and no pain within the day. Absolutely recommend Baystate to anyone in pain. Dr Velez is great and treats his patients with care.

I recently started seeing Dr. Velez for a variety of neck/back/hand and foot issues that were getting increasingly persistent and interfering with daily tasks. I saw IMMEDIATE improvement directly following my first visit, and even more the next day after my second. He spent extra time making sure I understood what was happening with my body and explaining the treatment along the way. I could not move my foot due to numbness when I first made an appointment, and this had been occurring for two weeks by that time. After my second visit, I was amazed that I was able to wiggle my toes, it felt like a big win. My neck and back pain were eased after my first adjustment. I can't recommend Dr. Velez and his team enough, they are professional, friendly, and the office is so inviting. I'm very much looking forward to continuing my treatment and progress there backed by a fabulous team!

Dr. Velez really cares about his patients. He gives you the tools to stay in good health. I'm in my second pregnancy, and his adjustments and exercises helped me have an easy first delivery, and I'm hopeful the second one will be, too. Thanks, Doc!

Doctor does an amazing job; went from not having neck mobility to almost having full range of motion. Same goes for my arms, and my body in general. If anyone is looking for a chiropractor, please go to this one. He will change your life for the better.
